Multiple Sale Packages

Multiple Sale Packages are Packages that can be sold multiple times to multiple bidders at a set price. This can be used for raffle tickets, Sign Up Parties, or voting purposes. Follow the steps below to ensure your multiple sale packages are correctly set up for Online Bidding.

Multiple Sale Packages follow the same steps as Adding Packages: Auction (without Items) and below we have a few specific recommendations.

  1. Click Items & Packages in the Main Menu, and select View Packages.
  2. Either Add a new Package or click an existing Package name.
    • If clicking an existing Package, click Edit once on the View screen.
  3. Enable the Package as a Multiple Sale. If there is a maximum quantity that can be sold via Online Bidding, ensure this maximum is entered in the Maximum Online Sales field.

Tip: If you do not sell all of the available Multiple Sale packages during your auction, you can add these to your post-event auction. See Online Bidding: Setting up a Fire-Sale.

  1. Unlock the Amounts area using the padlock icon.
    • Remove the Minimum Bid and Minimum Raise.
    • Put the price of the Package in the Guaranteed Purchase Price field.
  2. Click the Save button.

Tips for Multiple Sale Packages when using Online Bidding:

  • For sign-up parties, enable the setting for Bidding History (Multisale Packages) under the Online Bidding Settings. This will allow the bidders to see who else is attending. 
  • If you are using Online Bidding to collect votes (such as dancing or chef’s choice), make sure there is no Maximum Online Sales limit, that you have an image of what your Supporters are voting for, and a Guaranteed Purchase Price. Each “vote”, will be made at that price (vote’s typically range $1 - $5).
  • For Packages that you would like to sell only one of but at a set price, check the Multiple Sale box and enter a Maximum Online Sales of "1", and specify the price in the Guaranteed Purchase field.
